Cookies Policy

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit our site. They help us remember things like what language you prefer and whether you've agreed to our cookie policy.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for various reasons:

  • To make sure the content is relevant to you
  • To provide a smoother user experience
  • For security purposes, such as keeping your login information safe

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for our site to function properly. These include things like session IDs and CSRF tokens.

Session Cookies

Session cookies expire once you close your browser or when the current session ends. They help us remember what's happening in real-time on our website, such as whether you're logged in or not.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies stay on your device even after you close your browser or shut down your computer. We use them for tasks like keeping track of your login information and remembering language preferences.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help us understand how people interact with our website, so we can improve the user experience. They also enable some site functionality, such as embedded content from other websites.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies collect data on usage patterns to provide insights into how users behave on our site. This information is then used for optimization purposes.

Preference and Language Settings

We offer customizable language settings based on your preferences. The selected language will remain in effect until you choose a different one or clear all browser data.

Login/Session Continuity

When using cookies, we maintain login continuity by keeping track of the user's session ID. This prevents repeated logins when navigating between pages within our website.

Device Recognition

Our system recognizes devices and maintains their information even if they are reconnected after a prolonged period or restarted completely. The same principle applies to maintaining session continuity for continuous use cases like video streams without explicit login actions per stream initiation.

Security-Related Cookies

To prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF), we implement security-related cookies that verify whether an incoming HTTP request originated from your own device and not some other malicious source trying to fake requests as coming directly from you in real-time.

Browser Storage Technologies

Modern web browsers employ storage technologies like IndexedDB, Web SQL Database for storing site-specific data beyond what can fit inside a cookie. This information persists until the user clears their stored browser content manually.

Third-Party Integrations

When using third-party integrations (like plugins or widgets), those partners might drop cookies as well because they collect their own unique types of information for specific purposes which typically aren't directly tied to our core service operations but serve broader objectives.

Marketing/Communication Preferences

You can manage your marketing and communication preferences on the website by adjusting cookie settings, opting out from specific campaigns, or customizing further options available upon sign-in.

Cookie Consent Management

To ensure that we handle consent correctly, you'll see a notification when first accessing Rivers Casino Portsmouth's site, outlining the details regarding our use of cookies.

Browser Cookie Controls

Keep in mind that your browser controls which types of data websites can save on your device. You may customize cookie settings directly through browser software tools and even clear these upon deciding to completely erase stored information about previous interactions.

Clearing or Disabling Cookies

Clearing cookies or disabling them all together means you might lose some site functionality, but this is a user-preferred action for maximum data protection. Note that doing so will not reduce the general operation efficiency significantly since many other browser technologies provide fallbacks when specific services require these storage mediums.

Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimisation

We collect aggregated analytics to diagnose areas where Rivers Casino Portsmouth can improve technical aspects such as loading speeds, error handling times etc.

Aggregated Analytics Information

This type of information does not contain identifiable data but helps our developers in streamlining functionalities like faster page loading times by pointing out underperforming resources.

User Experience Improvements

The insights from analytics enable us to refine user experience enhancements through real-time changes or scheduled releases that maintain alignment with evolving client-side expectations.
